🔧 MCP COMMANDS

STAGE 1: BASE MESH (Sculpting)

# Base human proportions
"Создай сферу 'Head' радиус 0.12м сегменты 32
Создай цилиндр 'Torso' радиус 0.15м высота 0.5м
Создай цилиндр 'Hip' радиус 0.12м высота 0.2м
Создай 4 конечности: цилиндры с Subsurf + Dyntopo

# Объединить в один объект
"Объедини все части в 'Character_Base'
Dyntopo: constant_detail=8, symmetry X
Скульптинг: пропорции 8 голов, силуэт, анатомия"

STAGE 2: RETOPOLOGY (Game-ready ~15k tris)

"Quad Remesher: target_quads=5000, adaptivity=0.3
Проверить: только квады, нет полюсов >5, edge flow по анатомии
UV: Smart Project для тела, ручная для лица/рук"

STAGE 3: UV & TEXTURING

# UDIM layout (4 tiles)
"UDIM 1001: Head/Neck
UDIM 1002: Torso/Arms
UDIM 1003: Legs
UDIM 1004: Hands/Feet/Details

# Texture Paint слои
"BaseColor, Roughness, Normal, Subsurface, Specular, Displacement
4k на голову, 2k на тело"

STAGE 4: RIGGING (Rigify)

# Meta-rig
"Add Armature → Human (Meta-Rig)
Масштабировать под меш: Match to Mesh
Generate Rig → Rigify

# Дополнительные кости
"Face Rig: 50+ костей (jaw, eyes, brows, lips, cheeks)
Fingers: полная иерархия (3 фаланги на палец)
Twist bones: forearm, upper arm, thigh, calf
Corrective shapes: knees, elbows, shoulders"

STAGE 5: SKINNING

"Parent Mesh → Rig (Automatic Weights)
Weight Paint cleanup:
- Head: жесткая привязка к skull
- Shoulders: градиент clavicle/upperarm
- Hips: плавный переход spine/leg
- Fingers: по фалангам
Test: extreme poses, проверка деформаций"

STAGE 6: ANIMATION

# Walk Cycle (24 фрейма = 1 сек @ 24fps)
"Frame 1: Contact (right heel, left toe)
Frame 7: Down (right foot flat, left passing)
Frame 13: Contact (left heel, right toe)
Frame 19: Down (left foot flat, right passing)
Frame 25 = Frame 1 (loop)

# Graph Editor: Bezier, Auto Clamp
# NLA: Walk Action → Push Down → Blend с Run/Idle"

STAGE 7: RENDER & EXPORT

# Lighting
"HDRI 'studio' 2k + 3-point studio
Volumetric: легкая дымка density=0.02"

# Camera
"Cam_Main: focal=50mm, DOF на глаза f/2.0
Cam_CloseUp: focal=85mm f/1.4 на лицо"

# Render
"Cycles 256 samples, Denoising, 4K
Output: EXR + MP4 (H.264 High)"
